3. Hatayama, a 271.9m-high mountain, is the site of Hachimanyama Castle, built by Toyotomi Hidetsugu in 1585 (Tensho 13). It is believed to have been a massive fortress with the Honmaru (main keep) at the very top of Hachimanyama, and the Ninomaru (second bailey), Nishinomaru (west bailey), Kitanomaru (northern bailey), and Demaru (outer bailey). While only the stone walls remain, the remains of the Murakumo Palace Zuiryuji Temple Monastery stands on the site of the Honmaru. The Hachimanyama Ropeway takes you from the base of the mountain to the summit in approximately four minutes, offering views of Lake Biwa and the former castle town of Omihachiman. Omihachiman City is famous for its Hachimanbori moat and waterfront sightseeing trails. With its white-walled storehouses, mansions built by wealthy merchants, and stone walls, the charming streets seem as if time has stood still for centuries, making it a tourist attraction that is a delight to stroll through.

About Kyoto

Kyoto, capitale impériale du Japon pendant plus de mille ans, est une ville de temples, de jardins, de maisons de bois et de traditions raffinées.

La ville abrite bon nombre des sites les plus précieux du Japon. Les milliers de portiques torii vermillon du Fushimi Inari Taisha grimpent une montagne boisée, le Pavillon d'or du Kinkaku-ji miroite sur son étang, et la terrasse en bois du Kiyomizu-dera avance depuis le flanc de la colline au-dessus de la ville. Le jardin de rocaille du Ryoan-ji et les terrains moussus du Ginkaku-ji invitent à la contemplation tranquille.
